September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

This month, your child took part in the Heart of Gold program at school. Every gold heart is a student telling a child fighting cancer: we see you, and you are not alone.
It shows that no one is ever too young to make a difference.

Heart of Gold is a student-led fundraiser with a big heart. Here's how it works:
A · Decorate
Every student receives a gold paper heart to decorate with their name, artwork, or a message of hope and encouragement for a child fighting cancer.
B · Donate*
*No donation is required to participate. Every student is welcome to decorate a heart, and every heart belongs on the wall.
Students invite a parent or guardian to make a donation on this page (https://whippediatriccancer.org/heart-of-gold-schools/short-line-school-reader-wv/). One heart. One gift. One act of kindness.
C · Display
Every heart is displayed on the school's Heart of Gold Wall, creating a growing showcase of support, compassion, and encouragement for children in treatments.

It’s Gameday!! Our Engineers are looking to start off their season with a win as they travel to Cameron starting tonight at 6:00.
